PCI: mvebu: Setup BAR0 in order to fix MSI
commit 216f8e95 upstream. According to the Armada XP datasheet, section 10.2.6: "in order for the device to do a write to the MSI doorbell address, it needs to write to a register in the internal registers space". As a result of the requirement above, without this patch, MSI won't function and therefore some devices won't operate properly without pci=nomsi. This requirement was not present at the time of writing this driver since the vendor u-boot always initializes all PCIe controllers (incl. BAR0 initialization) and for some time, the vendor u-boot was the only available bootloader for this driver's SoCs (e.g. A38x,A37x, etc). Tested on an Armada 385 board on mainline u-boot (2020.4), without u-boot PCI initialization and the following PCIe devices: - Wilocity Wil6200 rev 2 (wil6210) - Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 (ath10k_pci) Both failed to get a response from the device after loading the firmware and seem to operate properly with this patch.
